In the beginning, how did your SO let you know without telling you that he liked you?

My SO told me TODAY (3 1/2 yrs after we have been together) that he likes me! lol So how did he let me know before now? He kept showing up at my door. He put up with my crazy menopausal mood swings. He allowed me to be myself and not try to change me to be what he wanted me to be. He's supported my ideas no matter how bazaar they were. He didn't try to take over my life and make me just an extension of his.

He let me keep his jacket. When we first started dating, he told me about this jacket that "all the ladies loved" and only "special ladies" could wear it. Well, after a few dates he drove me to my place and instead of a goodnight kiss he gave me his jacket and told me to keep it. We've been together for 5 years now, married for 2 and we're the proud parents of a 9 month old little girl. I still wear that "special jacket" to this day...lol

I worked with him when we started dating. He has just bought a new truck and asked me to go with him to the dealership. He was such a nice guy, I have never dated a man like him. He was just perfect! We dated for 6 months before we got married and it was when we talked about getting married he told me how he really felt about me. Aww, 7 years later, he still rocks my socks!

He's an otr truck driver, so....he would call me all the time. He would shut down at night and get online to talk to me. He'd send me pics he took of beautiful scenery. After we got together, when we would be about to get off the phone, there would be this hesitation before we said goodbye, like we both wanted to say something but couldn't/wouldn't. When he was home, he'd hug me and hold me a little longer and tighter than a friend would. After our first date, when we were planning our second, he told me he wanted to spend more time with me than he had the first time. Just little things. Damn it, now I need to call him so we can tell each other we love each other...I miss him. lol

Without telling me .. He would hold my hand, nudge me in a playfull manner .. ohh and before we were dating he sent me flowers on the simple basis that I had said I'd never recieved any before. I definately knew then.

He gave me a card with a heart shape on the cover saying "Your friendship means so much" along with a beautiful watch on my 21st birthday. We were friends. I still didn't get it but after weeks of thinking back at the message of the card and the gift i knew he had feelings for me. I called him and that very night he came over at 10pm and told me that he loved me. We married one year later. We've been happily married for 5 years now.
